Although Hua Yan knew that Yun Chi was quite attractive to women, there were very few who could express their admiration for him so candidly and openly. In all this time, she had only encountered two such women: Shu Tangjiao of Huiyan City and the current Yan Yuxue from the Ministry of Rites Minister's Mansion.
As for Zhao Qingxi, Yun Chi had long cut off her approach, and the Princess of Nanjiang, Ye Xiangming, whom she had not seen at the time but later heard about, he had also personally severed that peach blossom.[/p]
It was she who had sent Shu Tangjiao away, and now seeing Yan Yuxue act fondly toward Yun Chi from behind, she wondered if the latter's affections would ever wane.
Hua Yan lay on Yun Chi's back, her thoughts in disarray. In her lifetime, it would be fine if Yun Chi only had her; but five years after her departure, she still hoped that a gentle and understanding woman would be there to accompany him.
